Batman better watch out —Mr. FreezeandPoison Ivyare joining forces.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerandUma Thurmanreunited and posed together for a new selfie, calling back to their villainous characters from the 1997 movieBatman & Robin. “Freeze and Ivy, reunited,” theTerminatoractor, 77, wrote onInstagramas he shared the photo on Saturday, Sept. 14. “Watch out, Batman.”
Fans were thrilled to see Schwarzenegger and Thurman, 54, together again, 27 years after theJoel Schumacher-directed movie originally came out. “Allow me to break the ice,” one fan wrote. “Alright everyone, chill,” another joked, quoting the icy villain.
A third was grateful for the selfie. “Nostalgia is a strong feeling! Thank you for this Arnie!” they wrote.
Batman & Robinwasn’t critically well-received — it currently has a 12 percent rating onRotten Tomatoes. The critical consensus from the movie site reads: “Joel Schumacher’s tongue-in-cheek attitude hits an unbearable limit inBatman & Robinresulting in a frantic and mindless movie that’s too jokey to care much for.”
However, the movie was a star-studded affair, featuringGeorge ClooneyasBatman,Chris O’Donnellas Robin,Alicia Silverstoneas Batgirl and Michael Gough as Alfred Pennyworth.

Clooney, 63, has beenoutspoken about his dislike for the movie. He even joked that he didn’t want his wife,Amal Clooney, to see it. “There are certain films I just go, ‘I want my wife to have some respect for me,’ " he said in 2021.
Meanwhile,Danny DeVito(who played The Penguin in another Batman movie) is game for reprising his role alongside Schwarzenegger. “I don’t think it’s a bad idea because you got [Michael] Keaton, you got [Schwarzenegger], you got DeVito. We could do those same parts. Yeah, why not?”he told PEOPLE in April.
Earlier this year, another Batmanreunion took place at the 2024 Academy Awards ceremony. Schwarzenegger and DeVito, 79, presented the Best Visual Effects trophy at the March ceremony.
“Arnold and I are presenting together, for a very obvious reason,” DeVito said at the time.“We both tried to kill Batman,“Schwarzenegger joked.
